Bone and Stone antique wooden stand and the lovely shiny black

and the lovely shiny black painted handle--what makes this one really special is the engraved silver ring just below the handle

and I find the wickerwork on it just lovely

I'm always on the lookout for Burmese Yun-de lacquer

Bone and Stone antique wooden stand and the lovely shiny blackI found this bone (a vertebrae I believe) and stone together just like this, and just couldn't leave them behind. A small scale found sculpture of sorts, but which feels as if could be a model for a monumental one. Feels like the embodiment of symbiosis to me and quite satisfying. As pictured: 2" t. Bone 1 1 8" to 1 1 4" d, 1 1 4" t.
